Virginia officially announced East Carolina transfer quarterback Kurt Benkert has joined the team, adding a little more intrigue to what was already a wide-open competition.
Coach Bronco Mendenhall said the addition means "a three-way competition all the way through fall camp, and much like the rest of our team, I love the idea of competition and the quarterback spot won’t be any different."
Matt Johns returns after starting last season, but he was pushed this spring by backup Connor Brewer. Neither was named the starter when spring practice wrapped last month.
